PIX4629910: Size Comparison: Neptune and Earth - Neptune and Earth Compared - The planet Neptune compares to Earth. Neptune's diameter is slightly less than four times that of the Earth's. If you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 202 pounds at Neptune's cloud tops. Neptune is 30 times further from the Sun than the Earth / Bridgeman Images
PIX4629918: Size comparison: Uranus and Earth - Uranus and Earth compared - The planet Uranus compares to Earth. Uranus' diameter is four times that of the Earth's. It has 15 times the mass. If you weigh 180 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 160 pounds at Uranus' cloud tops. Uranus is 19 times further from the Sun than the Earth / Bridgeman Images
PIX4629960: Comparison of sizes: Objects by Kuiper and Japan - Planetary-size comparison: Kuiper objects with Japan - Objects by Kuiper compares in Japan. The planetoides represented are in the background, Eris, then Charon, and Ceres, in the foreground. Some planetoids compared to Earth. The bodies above are, from back to front, Eris, Charon and Ceres / Bridgeman Images
PIX4629983: Size comparison: Enceladus, Earth and Moon satellite - Enceladus, Earth, and Earth's Moon Compared - Saturn Enceladus satellite (500 km in diameter) compares with Earth and Moon. Enceladus is considered one of Saturn's major satellites, however it is quite diminutive when compared with the Earth and Earth's Moon. With a radius of only 160 miles, Enceladus could rest in the Gulf of Mexico with plenty of room to spare. Enceladus is one of the brightest objects in the Solar System. Where Earth's Moon has a surface reflectively about the same as charcoal, Enceladus is covered in water ice that reflects sunlight like freshly fallen snow / Bridgeman Images
PIX4630008: Comparison between the Earth, Ceres and the Moon - Ceres, Earth, & Earth's Moon compared - Comparison at the scale of the size of the Earth, the dwarf planet Ceres and the Moon. Ceres, the most massive object in the asteroid belt, is only 950 km in diameter. While Ceres is the most massive single object in the asteroid belt, it is yet quite small when compared with the Earth and moon / Bridgeman Images
PIX4630115: The Solar System - Illustration of the Solar System. Planets are represented in order of proximity to the sun. From left to right, the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, the belt of asteroids, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and Charon. Since August 2006, Pluto is now called 134340 Pluto and is no longer considered a planet but designed as a dwarf planet. The scale ratio of orbit distances is accurate as well as the relative size of planets / Bridgeman Images
PIX4630133: The solar system - The solar system - Illustration of the solar system. Planets are represented in order of proximity to the sun. From left to right, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. The scale ratio of the respective size of the planets to the Sun is accurate. Saturn rings are not on scale, they extend in reality much further. All of the planets in scale to one another and to the sun. The rings of Saturn are not to scale / Bridgeman Images
OMG4627344: Java island (Java eiland), east dock, Amsterdam (Netherlands). From an architectural point of view, the island of Java, located on an inlet, is a jewel veritabe. Connected to the land by a single bridge, this small island was urbanized a few years ago according to the plans of architect Sjoerd Soeters. / Bridgeman Images
PIX4627374: Total solar eclipse 10/1995 - Total solar eclipse 10/1995 - Total solar eclipse observed in India on 24 October 1995. This image shows the typical shape of the solar crown observed during the minimum solar activity cycle. The structure of the solar crown changes significantly during the eleven years of a solar cycle; it extends in all directions during the solar maximum, as in the total eclipses of 1990, 1999 or 2001, while close to the solar minimum the intensity of the crown is much more important at the equator than at the poles. Total solar eclipse as seen in India. October 24, 1995. This image shows the coronal shape typical for minimum of the solar activity cycle. The coronal structure is changing during the eleven - year solar cycle significantly. It is spread approximately evenly to all spatial directions near the solar cycle maximum (for example 1990, 1999, 2001 eclipses) but near the solar cycle minimum the coronal intensity is much greater in equatorial plane than in polar regions / Bridgeman Images
